Hm, here's what I think:
1) The guy who killed off the quincy and pointed his sword at Urahara steps in and takes on Yamajii (since I think it will take an unknown and powerful character to deal with him now seeing Juha didn't expect this)
2) A driven mad Ichigo shows up in hallow form and everyone will have to join forces to take him down.
3) Yamajii gets off-paneled...
4) Yachiru shows up mad that Kenpachi is on the ground and goes wild...
5) Kubo will troll us...

Lol? He actually became way better since then. At least his fights don't follow the "get your arse handed to you first like there's no tomorrow, then get a sudden powerup and defeat the enemy" path.

As for him freaking out in that jail - what else did you expect in those conditions? The guy desperately wants to "protect everyone" (since the beginning of the series), but all he can do is helplessly watch how SS is getting butchered. And he was never a "calm" person to begin with.

Imho, I expect either a hollow to come out or smth alike, when his consciousness will break. And judging by those last panels with Ichigo, there's a good chance for that to happen...

Well then its just a matter of perspective.

About this weeks chapter................... :O :O:O:O WHO WROTE THIS CHAPTER?! Just kidding...... Great work Kubo. Chapters like this remind me why I started watching/reading Bleach.

Now, here's a theory : What if Juha Bach isn't the Final Boss? What if this is Yamaji's fight and no one's gonna interfere and Kubo isn't going to troll him(us) by stealing his Bankai?
What if the guy that Ichigo's gonna fight is Uryu Ishida? If this is going to be Yamaji's fight then the man standing in front of Urahara may well be Uryu.

I know this is pretty far fetched(and I made it sound so melodramatic T_T) but I really want, for once, for Ichigo to not save the day for Soul Society. Kenpachi getting beaten off-panel was bad enough I don't want the same thing happening to Yamamoto just because 'Juha cannot be defeated by any other person except Ichigo'.

Freakin awesome chapter, but am I the only one super annoyed that Urahara is so calm and collective and not lifting a finger? sure she's prob healing people... but damn it man she will never get any screen time other than womanly roles....

But yes Yachiru is clearly on a level she might be as strong as a captain, if not stronger then her Ken-chan!
I believe there was even a theory that Yachiru is actually Kenpachi's zanpakuto!
Damn, I still can't believe Kenpachi got defeated off-panel!

Was the most recently revealed bankai (prior to Yama-jii's) Soifon's? Because if so, I'd say Kubo made up for that major disappointment from before. Yamamoto's bankai is hot (pun intended)--by far the most impressive bankai yet IMHO. I initially wasn't all that impressed, but I think having all the moisture in SS's air slowly start to evaporate as well getting seemingly impervious flame armor kind of sealed the deal for me.

I can't think of a bankai that would stand a chance against the old man's unless we're going to refer to the novel. In that case, Azashiro Kenpachi's bankai would still be the most OP bankai ever.

seemingly yamaji is owning with the force of a thousand suns
enjoy the glory while it lasts as the plot calls for aizen hax level troll on part of his opponent so Ichigo still has a job left to do once he gets out. That sad fact none withstanding nice chapter
